Question

Choose an equation that can be used to solve the problem. Adrian’s backpack has a mass of 15 kilograms. Theresa’s backpack has a mass of 8 kilograms. What is the total mass of both backpacks? *

15 - 8= 7
15 x 8= 120
15 + 8 = 23
15 + 8 + 2 = 25

Answer 1

The answer would be 15+8=23 because when they use the word total that would mean adding because it is saying all basically and I have zero doubts but if it is wrong I apologize.
